If you love The Gauntlet Podcast and Discern Realities, please go to iTunes and leave the shows a five-star review. It helps other people find them, since even non-iTunes podcast apps use iTunes data when returning searches for, say, “story games” or “role playing games” or “Dungeon World.”

I have included some screenshots of recent five-star reviews we have received.

Also, a big thanks to Richard Rogers, David LaFreniere, Daniel Lewis and (soon) Steve Mains who spend hours each week making the shows a quality listening experience.

On this episode of The Gauntlet Podcast, Steve Mains and I are joined by the fabulous Hannah Shaffer, designer of Questlandia, Damn the Man, 14 Days and other fine games.

And thanks to Richard Rogers for this week’s excellent edit.
